In a sense it is. This kind of ads is typically forbidden by some advertising networks. And you basically choose which one you wanna put on your app.
This is admob, which is supposed to have oversight to prevent the worst stuff. Amazing how often that fails, and how rarely anything is done to correct it. Which is one reason why ad blockers are so popular
You basically don't. The company serving the ads decides which ads are served.
You choose the company serving the ads, and you know in advance what kind of ads are allowed and displayed by them on your app / website. Just that the most dodgy it is, the most it pays.
